The view from this venerable eatery is one of the best in the Bay Area. The food is American with a French accent.

The patio here with its cascades of vines twining over the walls is great on a sunny day. Indoors, the cozy space with the warm yellow walls is inviting for enjoying the Mediterranean-tinged French cuisine that draws upscale foodies from all over. The menu changes twice a month, taking advantage of the freshest produce in the area. That coupled with the careful preparation makes for soups, salads and entrees of fresh fish, succulent chicken and first-rate beef that are memorable. The wait staff is professional and personable. Wines from the France and California are offered. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Eclectic gourmet |
337 San Anselmo Avenue San Francisco, CA 94960 United States +1 415 454 9840 |
This small light-filled space has a nice touch with fusion cuisine. At bistro-styled tables and chairs or at the green marble counter beneath a trellis of faux grapevines, locals enjoy delicious satay sandwiches, potato pancakes, fresh bass fillets garnished with mangos and red pepper salsa, or Thai-style Beef Curry. The other choices are equally good and range equally far afield culturally. The owner loves to cook and it shows in the preparation of the food and the way it is served up. The wine list is limited, but has good choices that start at $9 a bottle. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The attention to detail and the charming setting make this upscale spot one of the best places to sample an intriguing mix of Italian and French cuisine. Individual pizzas are popular with the local crowd of families, students and professional types who also enjoy pastas, and a hearty lamb stew that owes its inspiration to French country cooking. For dessert, try chocolate pizza or a selection from the tempting French desserts. The setting is a small gem of a home dating from the 1920s that features a patio with vine-covered walls. California, Italian and French vintages round out the wine list. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This upscale eatery is small, but bright and tidy. It serves diners from all over the Bay Area. Its regional specialties are served at very few other places.The menu at Dona Tomas changes seasonally to reflect the abundance of fresh, organic produce that is available to us year round in the Bay area. You can usually find Huitlacoche Quesadillas, made from mushroom not usually found in the States and Enchiladas covered in a Tangy Guajillo Sauce. The desserts here are also special - a substantial and delicious Pumpkin and Mascarpone Custard, and a rich Mexican Chocolate Cake to name a few. The service is generally done either in the dining room or on the charming patio. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The mood in this sleek eatery is contemporary - from the glass ceiling that lets in the sun in the morning and the stars at night, to the cuisine which is Chinese by way of California. Enjoy traditional classics such as Tea-Smoked Duck glazed with Tamarind Sauce, and instead of crab dumplings, there are crab cakes spiked with lime and chili. Everything on the menu is prepared meticulously with the freshest ingredients available. Thursday through Sunday nights enjoy live jazz which complements the fine food and quick service. The style is anything from fusion to Dixieland and, to make the experience even more special, there's no cover charge. Review © 2007, Wcities |

If the name of this clubby establishment does not give away the house specialty, the murals, sculptures and vintage decoys all depicting the eponymous fowl should. There are a few other items on the menu here such as pasta, seafood and steak, but duck is the raison d'etre for it all. Duck, moist and succulent, is roasted with cherries or candied in orange, smoked with chestnut stuffing or ground into spicy sausages. The daily specials take duck to flavorful places and cooked to perfection the way only a chef who specialized like this can. The wait staff specializes, too, in great service. There is a full service bar if you would like a Martini or Cosmo to start and an excellent wine list for something to accompany your entree. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This place on East Bay serves delicious Dim Sum. Plenty of tables ensure you don't wait too long for a seat. The staff is cordial and chats jovially as they take your orders. The Steamed Fish is another recommended dish to treat your taste buds. Parking can be a problem due to space constraints. But with great food and low pricing, they can be forgiven that.

When you hear Elephant & Castle, food may not be the first thing that comes to you mind. But once you arrive and the drinks start flowing, you won't remember what first came to you mind anyway. Elephant & Castle serves classic English pub food like Fish & Chips, but also goes for more American fare like roast beef sandwiches and spinach dip with tortilla chips. The bar has a laundry list of beers on tap and plenty of liquor to make most concoctions you can think up. Come on a Thursday night and see how well your drunken trivia knowledge holds up.

This traditional Indian restaurant is the place to sample regional cuisine, and world-famous Indian dishes, such as Tandoori and Biryani, without having to travel to the sub-continent. The menu offers some standard cravings, such as Korma, Bhuna and Vindaloo, alongside a gamut of chutneys and pickles to tickle the palette. The ingredients are imported when possible and the freshest that the local markets can provide for the rest. Being typically Indian, there are no drinks served here, but the meals in themselves will vouch for a memorable experience. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This tiny restaurant is a bit too minimalist in design to be called cozy, though the ambiance is welcoming and the service warm and friendly. The white-on-white decor makes a blank canvas of sorts for the delicious food that is Northern Italian by way of California. The menu, as is all but de rigeur in Marin, changes seasonally, but house-made pastas are always good and the specials, such as grilled sea bass and tortellini with Dungeness crab, are always available. The wine list is not large, but the selections show a flair for good wines as reasonable prices. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This is a cozy spot for local foodies to have breakfast or dinner (no lunch is served) surrounded by an airy, modern decor inspired by the 1920's-1940's Arte Moderne movement. Chef Laurent Manrique produces cuisine that blends classic cooking techniques from the Southwest of France with California feeling and seasonal ingredients. The menu features such luxurious offerings as the Matelote d'Anguille (oxtail and Japanese eel braised in Bordelaise sauce) or the Poulet au Pot (poached free range chicken stuffed with foie gras), and for dessert, Souffle a la Poire (pear souffle).

This is one of the largest fish restaurants in the area. The fish comes from the owner's own fishing fleet and the oysters from that same owner's oyster farm. That lack of a middleman might account for the great prices for some of the freshest, best-prepared seafood you are likely to come across. The menu reflects the day's catch, but whether grilled over mesquite, broiled, or pan-fried with a little butter and garlic, the food is basic and flavorful served up to locals with sides of French fries, coleslaw and sourdough bread by a cheerful, efficient staff.

In fact, it is one of the Bay Area's groundbreaking cuisine style-setters, using local fresh organic produce long before it was trendy.

Nanjing Duck seems to be the favorite among diners from the area and among tourists.

You will also find Braised Lamb, Scampi and an excellent selection of pasta dishes, as well as great pizzas to enjoy in one of the cozy booths or on the brick-lined patio.

The building housing this upscale restaurant has a wealth of history to enrich the fine dining experience to be found here. Built in 1898, it is still replete with the elegance of that bygone age with its rich redwood paneling, mural on the ceiling and ornate decorative motifs. It almost distracts from the spectacular view of San Francisco and the Bay. Its many incarnations include a cool jazz club frequented by Hendrix and Joplin in the '60s when it was known as The Trident. The atmosphere is far more sedate today with contemporary California cuisine such as the delectable Calamari appetizer served up by an efficient wait staff. Locals and tourists alike can be found here, dining on crab cakes or sitting on the deck to enjoy the view with a martini. There is live music of a mellow sort on Sundays through the winter and sometimes on Fridays and Saturdays too! Review © 2007, Wcities |

The tapas or small plates offer a tantalizing fusion of the two cuisines, which has proved to be a refreshing and welcome change to the San Francisco North Beach area. Young chef, Mattin Noblia, a native of the Basque country, comes up with scrumptious delicacies using the local available products in the most imaginative way and experimenting with new ones, which may be imported. Mâche Salad with walnuts, dressing, and feta cheese, Seared Tuna with Bleu des Basque sauce, Spanish Tortilla with baby spinach and goat cheese are some of the dishes you can try.

The success of this Levi's Plaza favorite could be attributed to many things. Maybe, it is the decor that includes huge open fireplaces and long wooden tables.

The service is gracious and the mood relaxed for the locals, tourists and Korean expats of all ages who pack the tables. Review © 2007, Wcities |

It doesn't get more Italian than this - an emphasis on fresh ingredients, truely Italian flavours and a relaxed ambience are Kuleto's attractions. The structure that houses the restaurant is even styled like an Italian Villa! Get a taste of Grilled Chicken Panini, Fettuccine Puttanesca, Grilled Pork Chop and more. The restaurant's Tuscan Wine Cellar Room and Piccolo Room are available for private parties; and from floral arrangements to catering, everything will be taken care of by the efficient staff.

4799 Telegraph Avenue (at 48th Street) San Francisco, CA 94609 United States +1 510 653 5350 http://www.lanesplitterpizza.com |
At this East Bay beer and pizza joint, located in Oakland's Temescal neighborhood, patrons feast on thin and crispy slices while watching the hustle and bustle of Telegraph Avenue right outside. The pies here are strictly New York style (some with names like "Herbivore" and "Garbage Pie"), and regulars will attest that Lanesplitter does it right. Plenty of tables and a ton of barstools mean there's almost always a spot for you. Six-foot picture windows all the way around the space afford diners a panoramic view and plenty of sunshine on a lazy afternoon. Round out your meal with a value-priced pitcher of one of the more than a dozen locally produced microbrews (including Anchor Brewing's Liberty Ale, a favorite among regulars).

A late-nineteenth century Parisian brasserie is so lovingly evoked here that one would not be surprised to see Toulouse Lautrec sketching at one of the tables. The food is a good reproduction, too. Steamed Mussels, Oxtail Terrine and Tarte Tatin are all on the menu along with a few California cuisine interlopers, such as Seared Tuna in Lemongrass and Ginger Roasted Artichoke Salad. A mirrored bar, brass detailing, high ceilings, and richly polished wood, make up for a nice break from the casual Californian establishments found in this area. The service is excellent and there is a full bar complete with a wonderful selection of French aperitifs that are perfect for sipping on the terrace. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Not just potatoes |
998 Guerrero Street (at the corner of 22nd Street) San Francisco, CA 94110 United States +1 415 282 6789 http://www.theliberties.com |
This rustic looking restaurant-bar may be the only Irish fusion cuisine place in the whole world. It is certainly the only one in The City. You can find fish and chips, though risotto can be substituted for the chips. You will also find traditional black-and-white pudding but served on bruschetta and topped with stewed apples tinged with cumin. The bar has single-malt Irish Whiskeys, of course, but the Guiness is available as an ice cream (it is unexpected but delicious). The wait staff, speaking in a lilting brogue, is personable and efficient. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This neighborhood bar is a throwback to another era. The ambiance is no later than the 1930s and that might be the last time that this redbrick landmark had a makeover. It is a friendly sort of place, with a blue plate special as well as hamburgers, fresh fish, pasta dishes and salads. Longtime regulars mix with Financial District denizens and newly arrived dotcommers over tasty food and drinks. The mood is casual and the pace can help even the most overworked patron unwind.

Come here or call ahead for takeout, when you're looking for that longtime American favorite, barbecue. Although many inspired game and fish dishes are on the menu, the specialty is hearty meat grilled up just right. Gnaw on a full slab of Baby Back Ribs, or try the half-chicken. Crab Cakes, Jambalaya and other non-cued dishes range from $15-30. If you need to wait for your appetite to set in, relax for a while at the bar. Soon you will be ready for any one of these hearty dishes. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Soft lighting, wood paneling and tastefully chosen bits of Thai art set the scene for upscale Thai cuisine that is exceptionally delicious. This cozy spot specializes in seafood, grilled with an expert blend of aromatic spices, deep-fried in a light, slightly sweet batter that has a hint of chili, and slow-simmered in a clay pot filled to the brim with fish, shellfish and fresh Asian vegetables. Gracious service is a hallmark here for well-heeled diners who fill the linen-covered tables. The wine list includes mostly California vintages. Asian beers are also available.

This restaurant is known for its Japanese and Californian styled sushi. So let the good times roll with Five-Spice Chicken Spring Rolls, Albacore Tataki and Seaweed Salad. The sushi - ebi, unagi, hotate or maguro - are created under chef Michael Terada's watchful eye. Maki Rolls and Freestyle Tacos are also appetizing. The 'all you can eat' sushi for $20 on Sundays is a hit. Beer, wine and sake flow freely. Music by DJs, jukebox and live bands adds to the fun. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This tiny storefront that attracts foodies from all over the city makes the most of its small space with lace curtains, crisp white table linens, and slightly formal Edwardian decor. The warm ambiance is a soothing backdrop for the seasonal menu that specializes in the rich risottos and cream sauces of Northern Italy with such tempting delights as Seafood Canelloni, Tortellini al Panna and Grilled Veal on a bed of Saffron Risotto. The service, personable and professional, is as exquisite as the food. Vintages from Italy and California star on the wine list with a good bottle starting at $14. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Superior Tacos |
24, South Park Street (at 2nd Street) San Francisco, CA 94107 United States +1 415 495 0409 |
Mexico au Parc is a rather small, but charming Mexican cuisine restaurant in the SoMa area. It's casual enough for you to eat and run or grab some takeout before heading to the park directly across the little street. Since it's so highly-regarded among those who work in the SoMa area, it tends to get crowded during lunch hour, but the "Super Tacos" are well worth the wait. For under five bucks, you can get a monstrous taco with guacamole and your choice of so many types of meats. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The food here is delicious, but the view (180 degrees to be exact) of San Francisco Bay is astounding. On clear warm nights, the view gets even better when the ceiling of the glass-enclosed establishment is rolled back for romantic dining under the stars. That California Cuisine-style dining includes quail roasted to succulent perfection and the catch of the day cooked to order. For dessert, the Creme Brulee Sampler of Vanilla, Almond and Espresso is rich and decadently delicious. For the Sunday brunch that draws couples and families from all over Marin, a buffet stretches seemingly forever with more than 30 items from which to choose as you sip champagne and watch the sun play on the water. The service is impeccable and the wine list has won several awards, including one from the Wine Spectator for excellence. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The plethora of reflective surfaces such as a marble bar, slate floor, and copper detailing all make this sleekly rustic Italian restaurant a little less than cozy, but the food makes up for that. Pizzas baked to crispy perfection in wood-burning ovens come in a variety of gourmet toppings including the now ubiquitous goat cheese and artichoke hearts. The pasta dishes are also cooked to perfection of the al dente sort for the youngish professionals that dine on them with gusto, and the seafood entrees are seasoned expertly before being grilled just right. The wait staff is personable and efficient, even on the most crowded of weekend nights, and the wine list features Italian and California vintages. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Rumor has it that this bar and restaurant was built to accommodate the crowds generated by the baseball stadium across the street. If this is true, there is only one question. Where will they fit? The bar and patio are packed every night with yuppie sports fans. During cocktail hour, people resort to the European custom of sharing tables with complete strangers. Escape to the dining room, where you can enjoy hearty American favorites such as Grilled Salmon or Flank Steak with nice Nouvelle Cuisine touches. Review © 2007, Wcities |
